Pasta Dough

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pasta Dough

    In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Create a well in the center, add eggs, and gradually mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine ricotta, lemon zest, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece out thinly with a pasta machine or rolling pin. Cut into squares or circles.

  4. 4

    Fill the Ravioli

    Place a small spoonful of filling on half of the pasta pieces. Moisten the edges with water, fold over, and press to seal. Cut out with a pasta cutter.

  5. 5

    Cook the Ravioli

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook ravioli for 3-4 minutes until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  6. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté shallots until translucent. Add cream, sherry, and bring to a simmer. Stir in toasted almonds.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the ravioli, drizzle with sauce, top with roasted pear slices, arugula, and a spoonful of chili crisp.
